Benchmark: JQuery4 new div element with class - 1k reps

Tests:

JQuery - direct + class
var list = [], n = 0; var newDiv = function(){ return $('<div class="test">'); } while(true) { n++; list.push(newDiv()); if(n===1000) break; }
JQuery - cloneNode + class
var list = [], n = 0, divTemplate = document.createElement('div'); var newDiv = function (classname) { var node = divTemplate.cloneNode(false); if (classname !== void 0) { var args = new Array(arguments.length); for (var i = 0, ii = arguments.length; i < ii; i++) { args[i] = arguments[i]; } node.className = args.join(' '); } return $(node); } while(true) { n++; list.push(newDiv("test")); if(n===1000) break; }
JQuery - cloneNode + class (new)
var list = [], n = 0, divTemplate = document.createElement('div'); var newDiv = function (classname) { var node = divTemplate.cloneNode(false); if (classname !== void 0) node.className = [...arguments].join(' '); return $(node); } while(true) { n++; list.push(newDiv("test")); if(n===1000) break; }
